Definition
破鞋 literally means 'worn-out shoes', but in colloquial and especially northern Chinese topolects, it is a highly offensive vulgar term for a promiscuous woman. The literal meaning is rarely used in modern speech; the word is almost exclusively used as an insult. Learners should avoid using this word unless they are aware of its offensive nature.
